Welcome to the forums. I hope your experience here will be both helpful and pleasant.

I'm assuming idm is Internet Download Manager.

It seems to be a Windows only program, and while it might (or mightn't) run under WINE, I doubt it will integrate with the native Firefox or Chrome/Chromium running under Ubuntu...

There are native alternatives listed here:

But I've not tried any of them myself.

Hi imran , please dont for IDM .because its not going to work through wine. I have tested IDM through wine.its give up. so if you want download managers you can go for fatrat or gwget.

all the best
